" Nay, not with cannon or battle shot. With sword or nobler pen! Nay, not with eloquent words or thought, From mouths of wonderful men. But deep In the walted-up woman's .heart Of woman that would not yield. But bravely, silently, bore her part Lo, there ia that battlefleld No marshaling troops, no blonvac song. No banner ta gleam and wave; But, ob, their battles, they last From babyhood to the grart>. Yet faithful still as a bridge of stars. She fights In her walled-np towna Fights on and on in endless wars, Then, unseen, silently goes down. Oh, ye with banners and hattie shot, And soldiers to shoot and praise, I tell you the kindliest victories fought Were fought In those silent waya. Oh, spot len woman in a world of shame, With silent and allent scorn Go back to God aa white aa yon esme The kingliest warrior born! -Joaquin Miller. NO FOREWORD The Anderson. Intelligencer, says ft that "the advantage a lady centipede gt has orar a woman ls that she can pull %: just fifty times aa many legs with imperfect propriety." Is Easter casting y?ta ahadpwa this far back, brother? Tho $p%rt*nburg Herald. m . Wc Recast, Brother. *. The Anderson Intelligencer persists ^^Kreferring to Elder Caine of Ashe le as "Craine." When the eminent aBBftlasiaatlc gets his breath back we HStiHse Brother Smoak to light tor the m^Lm timber. The Bluer ls a turtons fighter and is not to be trifled with. . The State. There must be very little hope In ? rope, for we Judge by the war news ;,t there i* little lifo over there. LET I S MEE AK OCT. Tlie Intelligencer commends for careful reading th?- communication from an A tu!i 'I'M .ii lady, published in another column, commenting on tin* Illicit liquor HHICB in Anderson, and the ell ort s being made to make of Ulis a "clean city." If all those who feel and (hink us does thia lady would take (he stand publicly she docs, evil condition? could not last longer than a snowfall lu a July sun. Hut here is ?lu? greatest foe the Rood people of Anderson have to tight. It is the In different and unconcerned person, who ls willing to live under any old order, lust BO ii does not "affect me and my busim aa." These people 'bink it is the duty, perhaps, of the newspapers, the preachers, and perhaps u few women, to stand publicly for correcting the evils, but for (he great majority of men, they stund back and say noth ing for fenr it will "offend a good cus tomer," or "drive away business." The Intelligencer, without fear of contradiction or consequences, makes he statement that it ls no more the dr'.y of a newspaper to r 'and for a "clean" and luw-ubidlng citizenship, than it' is for any other good citizen. Since taking tho st>>nd we have on the Ibjuor evil, we have had persons to compliment us on the position taken, many of them openly and frankly, and some as if they feared there-were u blind tiger watching thom. What is the value to a community of an opinion leH8 man? What great reform or pro position has ever boen engineered hy a man who had no opinion, or having one feared to expresa it. The Intelli gencer calla upon all good citizens of Anderson to arise and make this city OB our correspondent says, "A Chris tian elly in every sense of the word." On this proportion, where do you stand? "He that is not for UH ls against us." WEAR COTTON CLOTHES ' There are being made in Anderson "fetching" costumes, bound to attract much attention when worn. Recently some ladles who expect to attend the convention of the U. D. C's which ls to meet in a few days in Savannah, went to Brogon and Cluck mills purchas ing cloth from which they are having their dresses made. That these "home made" dresses will attract attention goes without saying, and these South ern ladles are showing their loyalty to the South in choosing and wearing the products of our fields and cotton mills, if we all stick together In the South, and help each other out as muob as we pan, there w.u\ be no doubt that the sun of prosperity will Boon begin again to shine with its ac customed brilliancy. . Yes, the ladles of the South can wear cotton dresses aa did their moth i... tho old "hemespun drees," and thus con they, too show "what South ern girls, for Southern rights, can do." IT I8VT YOUR TOWS-ITS YOU. Often in leading one runs acros~ some very good thought, and the ar ticle is, too, very much in line with ivhat one feels and thinks. Th? follow ing blt ot verse Is so good, and BO much in line with what The Intelli gencer believes and tights for, that sra call especial attention to it: tf you want to live in the kind of a town Like the kind of town you like, Vou needn't slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike. You'll only And what you left behind, For there's nothing that's' really new. It's a knock at youraelf when you knock your town. It lent your town-it's you. Real towna are not made by men afraid Lest somebody else gets ahead. When everyone works and nobody shirk? You can raise a town from the dead. r\nd if while you make your personal stake Your neighbor can make one too, Vour town will be what you want to see. It Isn't your town-^lfa YOU. ORGANIZED LABOR UNJUST The announcement of President Fairfax Harrison, of the Southern, that in view of the depression causeJ by the war the salaries of all em ployes receiving more than $2,500 a fear will be cut. makes glaring ono >f the Irregularities In the railroad service that haa come through the power of organised .labor. Since IMO the cost ot living has Increased leddedly. To meet this increase the pay of railroad employee baa been raised In nearly evi ry grade. These increases vary but Ute average is 17 per cent. The total amount Involved is co rossal when it Ia considered that the railroads employ in excess ot 1, f00,000 men. The Ulerease Ut the pay ot engineers has been 38 per cent; firemen. 41 per cen?; machinists, St per cent; conductors, 35 per cent; >ther train men. 51 per cent; and gen eral and other officers, io per cent. In bad times a railroad cannot get ita >rganlaed labor to bear a portion of :he burden. The only curtailment pos dble where union labor ls concerned is by dismissal of the employ?? or reduction of the service. With the slerk or official it is different.

DOWN WITH THE l'KEKM AGENT A Spanish grandee* once* observed that ul) Dobie and royal Spaniards agreed thut the public was an asa and should be ridden. Tho only point upon which disagreement was pos sible was who should occupy the suddlo. All special Interests agree that the American press is an nus, but there is no disagreement about who ?hall ride it. Tue various Interests are in hearty agreement that everyone who has need of free advertising. vjr "pub licity" as it is called, shall make free and unlimited use of the newu col umns. It ls due to the folly of the press thut the burden of free adver tising hus been lung and patiently borne. It is time, surely, to rebel. The interest of the newspaper a? a business enterprise; the conscience of the press as a gatherer end distribut or of news; the reasonable demand of the reader that advertising shall bear a label, are influences which should . umhin" to put an end to the riding of the ass by everybody and anybody who wantu "publicity." Even the riders are beginning, many of them, to grasp the fact that they have made inordinate demands upon good nature. The American Newspaper Publishers Association, in Bulletin 3204, reprints a speech of E. A. Moore, representing the State Charities Association of New York, at the charities conference in Philadel phia, in which it is stuted thal at tempts to tile valuable space from newspapers should he abandoned even by 01 ?anlzations fighting tuberculosis. Mr. Moore is quoted as follows: "We do not auk tho stationer to con tribute the paper wo use. Wo do not ask the owners of the building we oc cupy to contribute our quarters, lint we do ask the newspapers to do the equivalent by giving us space, which is Uko money to them. "Buy space. Advertise your work as business houses do, and you will get the best publicity in the world, and you will case a .little of the resent ment that the newspapers aro begin ning to feel for you. If you do any thing worth a picayune the newspap ers will print it as news and without your solicitation." Advertising that is frankly adver tising commands respect. Advertising which parades as news not only les sons the respect of the public for newspapers as vehicles of information but also breeds contempt in the mind of the reader "who might, if properly approached become interested in the enterprise, the commodity, the article, the individual, advertised. Nowadays a very considerable pro portion of the readers of the press quickly recognize, and as quickly re Bent, "publicity articles" designed to Impose upon them by passing off ad vertising aa news. The paid advertisement challenges attention and disarms criticism. It ls an open and above board claim for consideration; not an effort to trade upon a lack of intelligence, more of ten presumed than actual, among readers. Publicity bureara are often so ex pensive that paid advertising; would be less costly. The press could, and should, greatly reduce the volume cf free p;;b'.i_i:y. The result ~culd bc more informing and reliable news col umns. That reform would be worth more than the advertising which would supplant the free publicity masque rading as news.-Tho Courier-Journal. CONGRATULATES ANDERSON The Daily Journal extends hearty congratulations to the people of An derson upon the Ano records that she has made In running in the blind ti gers. ? In every instance there have been convictions, and the men en gaged in this most disreputable bus iness have found out that there is determination In Anderson to havo a clean city. This movement will prove beneficial to the buainesa and moral interests of the city. And let ua hope that lt will lead to the reformation ot the men who so far forgot themselves as to engage In this low down business. It should appeal strongly to an other class of citizens, and these are the men who have been patrons of Ute tigers. Without patrons blind tigers could not be run. We are of the opinion that the men who sup port" blind Ugers are on a level not tar above the tigor. We wish to congratulate also May or Godfrey who baa proven by the way he has gone at it that the law against Ute illicit sale of liquor can be enforced.-The Greenwood Journal. oooooooooooooooooo O O o Letter From the People. o o o ooooooooooooooooo I' Compliments The Intelligencer.

China ls placing order? with lan cashire spinners, which has stimulat ed tlie market' and is regarded us the forerunner of orders from india and general demand for cotton goods. Many spinners express the opinion that the improvement in the cotton situation is largely due to Slr George Palsh's offortB in the t'nited Staten. While the Liverpool market was clos ed the lancashire spinners had little trouble in buying Bpot cotton, but thc opening of the Chinese trade makes it imperative that futures he bought to cover orders booked.
